I think this is a pretty good game and I liked the mechanics. Absolutely, I really wanted to like this game. However, if you have a small place space, it's basically unplayable. I hit my chair, I hit my bookshelf, I got tangled in my cable. There are no quality of life/usability features like a way to reposition/reorient in the virtual world or "suck in" objects just beyond your reach. That's fine, but this game is listed as "Standing", which is rather disingenous for a game all about movement that repeatedly spawned objects outside my play space.

This is the worst game I've ever played. This is an example project which the developer has somehow managed to break. Usually when that happens the response is to delete the project, not publish it on Steam.

It's a very well thought out and highly addicting game. However, it doesn't feel quite finished, which is a shame because with a few more minor tweaks it could be a lot better. Still, it's a lot of gameplay for the money and it has my recommendation.

On one hand, it's actually pretty fun, with surprisingly good graphics and music. On the other hand, the upgrade system is awkward, progression is slow and linear, and nothing says professional quite like a Unity Personal splash screen.

It's $3 and it's Polandball*. Go for it.

*I'm not sure who, if anyone, owns the rights to this, so if you want this game I'd get it while you still can.

This game isn't very good. It's a casual game that falls flat in the gameplay department.

Basically, the gameplay hasn't been tweaked and balanced enough, or possibly at all. Basically, you switch between lanes trying to avoid obstacles and pick up speed boosts that appear in a row ahead of you. The biggest problem is that it's grossly unforgiving- hit one obstacle and you're done for. If you miss a boost, you might make it to the next row but your ride is going to be painfully slow and it feels like you're barely creeping to the next row. The second biggest problem is that anything except the boost is basically useless. You can pick up health, but anything that damages you will kill you by slowing you down anyway. You can pick up money, but there aren't any upgrades so it's basically just for score. You can pick up rockets that destroy the obstacle in front of you- automatically and before you see it- making them next to useless.

Once you get the hang of it, it's easy and boring. There doesn't appear to be any difficulty ramp or surprises.

The game is kind of unpolished- a lousy menu system and next to no options, as well as music that doesn't perfectly loop- but that's excusable for a $1 game. I feel this would make a better mobile game than a desktop game as well.

With a little more work, this could have been a decent game, but even for $1 I can't recommend it.

Bonus points for not using the Unity engine like seemingly every other indie game. I'd be interested in seeing the source code, though.

Even post-Jagex, it was fun for a while, especially with friends. But the servers are empty and the game is totally dead. I can't recommend something that basically doesn't exist.

It's a really interesting idea, and it's pretty cool at first, but it's not very fun or satisfying as an actual game.

Confusing and misleading licensing terms. While you're free to use the creator itself for any purpose, the item template pack is licensed for use with RPG Maker only. Since there is no free asset pack, it's basically useless for other purposes.

While Second Story does exist, it has its own share of issues. It has little content and its own license prohibits sharing and includes an odd encryption clause.

If you want to make this useful, give us an asset pack based on Liberated Pixel Cup.
